  1. Dhruv says:

    The answers A and B are correct. The question is about storing the info at application level and not at user level. If it was at user level, the options C and D would be correct.

    I agree with Dhruv as the word “global” excludes sessions as they are not global but per user.

    However the question doesn’t mention anything about persistence, so the application state might not be appropriate in the case we care about keeping the data between restarts for instance.
    “That doesn’t change frequently” might imply we care about persisting it.

    To my opinion, only B is a sure choice.

    1. Olograph says:

      “Insecure” might mean we can loose the data which would give details regarding persistence but it should have said it in a way that is entirely deprived from ambiguity. This is a bad question I hope will not be in the actual exam.

      Upon examination, another very similar question uses the term global information but has “session state” as an answer to it so really these questions don’t even worth a penny.

    D )In StateServer mode, session information is stored in memory on a separate server. When confguring the state server in IIS, you need to enter the connection string to the server. All servers that use the same state server have access to the state information.

    B) SQLServer mode has the same advantage as StateServer in that the session information is shared across multiple servers. It has a performance impact, however, because there needs to be a call to a SQLServer and it will add latency to the session access.

    That’s from Exam ref 70-486 book,
    Agree ?
